Apple has released an iOS update for the iPhone 5 and iPad mini, bringing the iOS version for those devices up to 6.0.2. The release notes for the iPhone note only that an unnamed Wi-Fi bug has been fixed.

There have been a number of complaints related to malfunctioning Wi-Fi connections on the iPhone 5, so this could be a welcome update for many users.

Update: Many users are reporting difficulties downloading iOS 6.0.2, with attempts at over-the-air updates simply yielding errors. Users updating through iTunes appear to be having more success, although even then it may take several attempts.

No kidding. iOS6 trashed wifi for my wife's iPad2 (which 6.0.1 seems to have fixed), but the i5 has been great for me. I haven't looked into why, but it's much faster than my i4, on the same n wifi. Maxes out my 40Mb DSL.
